PAYPAL NO LONGER AN OPTION

Just now I logged into Paypal to find some day ruining news - I check my e-mail and see this message

[quote192a95a50b]
The PayPal User Agreement states that PayPal, at its sole discretion,
reserves the right to close an account for any violation of the User
Agreement, including the Acceptable Use Policy.

Under the Acceptable Use Policy, you may not use PayPal to send or receive
payments for any form of multi-level marketing programs (including online
payment randomizers), as well as matrix, pyramid and Ponzi schemes, "get
rich quick" schemes, or other similar ventures. The complete Acceptable
Use Policy addressing MLM, Pyramid and Matrix Programs can be found at the
following URL

http//www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=p...e&ed=rich_quick

We are hereby notifying you that, after a recent review of your account
activity, it has been determined that you are in violation of PayPal's
Acceptable Use Policy. Therefore, your account has been closed.

If you have a remaining balance, you may withdraw the funds to your bank
account. Information on how to withdraw funds from your PayPal Account can
be found at our Help Center.

You will need to remove all references to PayPal from your website(s)
and/or auction(s). This includes not only removing PayPal as a payment
option, but also the PayPal logo and/or shopping cart. We thank you in
advance for your cooperation. If you have any questions, please contact
the PayPal Acceptable Use Policy Department at email==aup@paypal.comaup@paypal.com=aup@paypal.comaup@paypal.com/email.

Because of this, at the moment Paypal is no longer an option on SpeedyFreebies. However, rest assured that I will be doing everything I can to get my account opened back up.

If you have any suggestions, please post them here, or contact me (all ways in my signature).

Sorry for the inconvience. (

Again? We just went through this a few months ago, and after being contacted by numerous freebie sites, PayPal changed their mind and allowed it again. Why would they go and reverse it yet AGAIN?

Any other reports of this yet? This is the first one I've heard...

It's funny that they picked out this site. Is this a business account?

I read that I think Kerms owner of another freebie network sent them a letter explaing how these freebie sites work and thats how paypal allowed it too stay. You most likely have to do the same.

send them a carefully worded certified mail letter explaining your site and business model.

Do you think it would matter if it was E-mail instead of actual postal mail?

Looks like Paypal had the final word.
I regret to inform you that PayPal is no longer an option, and won't be added anytime soon (unless PayPal changes its mind..which is very unlikely).

NOTE I do NOT send checks, or deal with any other type of online banking. No epassporte, no neteller, firepay, egold etc.

Sorry for the inconvience guys. (

Ya rly. Pretty lame that you "don't send cheques or deal with any other type of online banking" in this kind of business. If you want to keep your site up or your "customers" happy, I'd suggest at least thinking about using one of those methods of payment.

I did type up a letter. I typed multiple ones up. It was pretty much a back and forth arguement.

Yes.. I carefully worded it and made sure it was best. I even had people review it for me and they thought it looked good.
I have no idea how kerms or whoever it was convinced PayPal.

The just kept responding basically with the same message (the one below).

Rly? I'll think about that. I might offer epassporte later on because it seems many people like it. However at the moment, I am sticking to strictly physical gifts and gift certificates.

Yes, for a moment after I had read the e-mail I had questioned if it was actually PayPal and not some one tricking me. You'd think support would know how to spell.

Then explain to them that the word "Perminantly" is not in the English vocabulary and therefore nullfies their decision

Good way to piss off the CS over at Paypal and get them to smite you, haha. That's unfortunate that Paypal is no longer an option but you should consider sending checks or other forms of online payment - if you want to continue to grow, that is.
